Printing system and information processing apparatus

1. A printing system, in which a printing job based on a same printing target is registered in each of a plurality of printers and one of the plurality of printers performs printing in response to a print instruction of the printing job thereto, the printing system comprising; a determination unit that determines, when registering the printing job in each of the plurality of printers, a registration destination of the printing job for each of the plurality of printers such that both a printer having the printing job registered in a volatile memory and a printer having the printing job registered in a non-volatile memory exist.

2. The printing system according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of printers has both the volatile memory and the non-volatile memory, and wherein the determination unit determines whether to register the printing job in the volatile memory or the non-volatile memory of the at least one of the plurality of printers.

3. The printing system according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of printers has both the volatile memory and the non-volatile memory, and wherein the determination unit determines whether to register the printing job in the volatile memory or the non-volatile memory of each of the plurality of printers.

4. The printing system according to claim 1 , wherein the printer having the printing job registered in the volatile memory erases a registered printing job from the volatile memory when an available space of the volatile memory is below a threshold value.

5. The printing system according to claim 1 , wherein the printer having the printing job registered in the non-volatile memory does not erase a registered printing job from the non-volatile memory even when an available space of the non-volatile memory is below a threshold value.

6. The printing system according to claim 1 , wherein the determination unit allows a user to select at least one printer in which the printing job will be registered in the volatile memory or at least one printer in which the printing job will be registered in the non-volatile memory.

7. The printing system according to claim 1 , wherein the determination unit determines, as the printer in which the printing job will be registered in the non-volatile memory, a printer having a higher using frequency in priority to a printer having a lower using frequency.

8. The printing system according to claim 1 , wherein the determination unit determines, as the printer in which the printing job will be registered in a non-volatile memory, a printer having a non-volatile memory with a larger available space in priority to a printer having a non-volatile memory with a smaller available space.

9. An information processing apparatus comprising: a processor; and a memory storing computer readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the information processing apparatus to: register a printing job based on a same printing target in a plurality of printers; and determine, when registering the printing job in each of the plurality of printers, a registration destination of the printing job for each of the plurality of printers such that both a printer having the printing job registered in a volatile memory and a printer having the printing job registered in a non-volatile memory exist.

10. A printing system comprising: a plurality of printers, one of which performing printing in response to a print instruction of a printing job thereto, and an information processing apparatus including, a determination unit that determines a registration destination of a printing job based on a same printing target for each of the plurality of printers such that both a printer having the printing job registered in a volatile memory and a printer having the printing job registered in a non-volatile memory exist, and a registration unit that registers the printing job in each of the plurality of printers based on the determination by the determination unit.

11. The printing system according to claim 10 , wherein the information processing apparatus further includes, a first receiving unit that receives information relating to the printing job, a sending unit that sends a notification to each of the plurality of printers based on the information received by the first receiving unit, and a second receiving unit that receives a response to the notification sent by the sending unit from each of the plurality of printers, and wherein the determination unit determines the registration destination of the printing job for each of the plurality of printers based on the response received by the second receiving unit.

12. The printing system according to claim 11 , wherein the information relating to the printing job indicates whether the printing job is a secure job.

13. The printing system according to claim 12 , wherein, when the information received by the first receiving unit indicates that the printing job is a secure job, the sending unit sends the notification, and when the information received by the first receiving unit indicates that the printing job is not a secure job, the sending unit does not send the notification.

14. The printing system according to claim 11 , wherein the second receiving unit receives a first response or a second response as the response from each of the plurality of printers, and wherein the determination unit determines whether at least one first response has been received from the plurality of printers.

15. The printing system according to claim 14 , wherein, when the determination unit determines that at least one first response has been received, the printer in which the printing job will be registered in the non-volatile memory is determined from a printer from which the first response has been received.
